Auf dem Hügel sitz ich spähend
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT SPA
Auf dem Hügel sitz ich, spähend
In das blaue Nebelland,
Nach den fernen Triften sehend,
Wo ich dich, Geliebte, fand.
Weit bin ich von dir geschieden,
Trennend liegen Berg und Tal
Zwischen uns und unserm Frieden,
Unserm Glück und unsrer Qual.
Ach, den Blick kannst du nicht sehen,
Der zu dir so glühend eilt,
Und die Seufzer, sie verwehen
In dem Raume, der uns teilt.
Will denn nichts mehr zu dir dringen,
Nichts der Liebe Bote sein?
Singen will ich, Lieder singen,
Die dir klagen meine Pein!
Denn vor Liedesklang entweichet
Jeder Raum und jede Zeit,
Und ein liebend Herz erreichet,
Was ein liebend Herz geweiht!
Note for stanza 5, line 1, word 3: Different editions of Beethoven's song have a discrepancy here. Peters Edition (n.d., reissued 1949) has "Liedesklang" but G. Schirmer has "Liebesklang" (1902, 1929).

Ant kalvos dairaus aplinkui
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) after the German (Deutsch)
Ant kalvos dairaus aplinkui
Ūkanoton žydrumon
Tolumoj regiu aš pievas
Kur tave, miela, radau.
Mus tos tolumos išskyrė,
Skiria slėniai ir kalnai
Mūsų meilę, mūsų laimę,
Mūsų kančią amžinai.
Nematai tu mano žvilgsnio
Karšto, kaip aušros dangus
Ir atodūsiai ištirpsta
Erdvėje, kur skiria mus.
Negi nieks tavęs neranda,
Meilės laišku nieks nebus?
Man dainas dainuoti tenka,
Jos išreikš manus skausmus.
Meilės giesmę ims giedoti
Visos erdvės ir būtis
Mylinti širdis pasieks tai,
Ko taip trokšta jos širdis.
